Helmut Lang 'Under Construction'

September 07, 2018

For her first role as Helmut Lang's newest Editor-in-Residence, V Magazine founder and former W features director Alix Browne has taken us back to basics. The brand, whose previous Editor-in-Residence was Dazed's Isabella Burley, has launched an all new denim collection that pays homage to its minimalist roots, proving, yet again, that less truly is more—especially when it comes to denim. Dropping this October, ‘Under Construction’ reimagines classic jean styles, like the straight-leg and the bootcut, into deconstructed versions of their original form.

And with all the looks embracing the natural flaws of their material, these closet staples celebrate the perfectly imperfect aspects of the world’s most iconic fabric. Like the name of the capsule suggests, Helmut Lang’s ‘Under Construction’ will be the perfect kind of understated demin-ware that seamlessly enhances any look.

Alpha Industries: SS26 Onion Quilting Collection

February 04, 2026

Alpha Industries introduces the Onion Quilting Collection. Originally designed as part of the U.S. Army’s cold-weather layering system to deliver lightweight insulation without restricting movement, onion quilting traces back to the quilted liner of the M-65 Field Jacket. For Spring/Summer 2026, Alpha reinterprets this heritage through the ALS-92 liner, a contemporary evolution developed for civilian wear.

Inspired by ALS-92, the Onion Quilting Collection translates the intent of the original system into a modern context, maintaining a focus on mobility and versatility. Each piece reflects Alpha’s consistent approach to utility-driven design, strengthening the brand’s commitment to authentic heritage through modern construction and restraint.
